About me
I am a self motivated individual who is ambitious with strong attention to detail. I'm actively seeking opportunities to work within the accounting industry.
Currently I am in my first year at Griffith University studying a Bachelor of Commerce degree major Accounting and Financial Planning. As a current student I am looking forward to becoming a newly minted accounting professional. I am also planning to earn a CPA…and then fulfill a lifelong goal of entering the world of public accounting.
I offer a solid record of study across accounting information systems, business law, cost accounting, corporate and individual taxation, government and regulatory compliance, and auditing topics.
To better prepare for my career as a public accountant, I am actively looking for internships where I can gain exposure. Throughout my studies, I’ve also gained knowledge of:
Management accounting, budget planning and control, taxation planning, electronic data processing, Financial Accounting and Financial Management, Internal auditing, policy formulation, strategic planning, Accounting Information Systems (ERP, SAP), Corporate finance, Economics, Securities Research, Bank reporting, Microsoft Excel, cost/benefit analysis, and cost/effectiveness analysis.
I also have a passion for the financial markets. I had realized how much I like financial analysis at a difficult time whilst the Global Financial Crisis was occurring through 2007 - 2008. At this time I had thought investing and trading was all about stocks and the equity/shares of companies. Little did I know, the equity market is only 1 of the 5 primary markets. Options, Indices, Futures and Forex. I have since moved into trading the futures market on a casual basis due to my studies. You will be able to see more information about these under the tab
Thank-you for taking the time to visit this site and looking through the various areas. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
